OPEN CALL 📢

FOR THE 7TH EDITION OF THE WRONG BIENNALE, BOUNDING BOX IS LOOKING FOR ARTISTS INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN A GROUP EXHIBITION THAT EXPLORES CYBERNETICS AS A FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING THE EVOLVING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ARTISTIC PRACTICE. COINED BY NORBERT WIENER IN THE LATE 1940S, CYBERNETICS FOCUSES ON FEEDBACK LOOPS, SELF-REGULATING SYSTEMS, AND THE CONTINUOUS EXCHANGE BETWEEN INPUT AND OUTPUT—CONCEPTS THAT REMAIN RELEVANT IN LIGHT OF CURRENT TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND CONTEMPORARY CREATIVE PRACTICES.

ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED THROUGH WIENER’S WORK ON PREDICTIVE TARGETING SYSTEMS DURING WWII, CYBERNETICS SOON EVOLVED INTO A TRANSDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH LANGUAGE. IT FRAGMENTED AND EXTENDED FAR BEYOND COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFLUENCING FIELDS SUCH AS ANTHROPOLOGY, MEDIA THEORY, DESIGN AND PHILOSOPHY. IN THE 1990S, CYBERFEMINIST VOICES LIKE SADIE PLANT AND DONNA HARAWAY RECOGNIZED ITS POTENTIAL AS A TOOL TO RETHINK AGENCY, CONTROL, AND IDENTITY.

WE PROPOSE TO UNDERSTAND ARTISTIC PRODUCTION AS A CYBERNETIC LOOP RATHER THAN A LINEAR PROCESS. HOW IS INPUT ENTANGLED WITH OUTPUT? RATHER THAN FRAMING AI AS A NEUTRAL TOOL, WE WANT TO EXPLORE IT AS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT WITHIN A DISTRIBUTED CREATIVE SYSTEM. HOW DO SYSTEMS SHAPE THE ARTISTS WHO SHAPE THEM IN RETURN? AND HOW MIGHT CYBERNETICS HELP US RETHINK ARTISTIC PRACTICE IN TODAY'S ALGORITHMIC CONTEXT?

WE WELCOME SUBMISSIONS FROM ARTISTS WHOSE WORK ENGAGES WITH ANY FORM OF INPUT-OUTPUT-FEEDBACK RELATIONS. WE ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN WORKS WHERE AI PLAYED A ROLE AT ANY STAGE OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS—THOUGH THIS IS NOT A STRICT REQUIREMENT.
